Sacrificial Chanting Mood + Azurite Sun

Sacrificial Chanting Mood (Rotterdam) brings together Alicia Breton Ferrer and Doortje Hiddema (aka Euroboy), both prominent figures on the Dutch indie rock scene and beyond, having each written, performed and recorded for over ten years. Alicia Breton Ferrer is part of the noise-pop trio The Sweet Release of Death and the post-punk/noise pop escapades of Neighbours Burning Neighbours; Euroboy is part of Real Derek and Rats on Rafts. Calling all DIY pop and post-punk fans!

This five-person project is actually the result of a rich correspondence between two Dutch women, Alicia Breton Ferrer and Doortje Hiddema, during the pandemic. Sacrificial Chanting Mood’s music mixes scansions and choirs, with vocal layers blending with the instruments. The guitar swells, the bass lines tighten, and the drums hammer away. And then comes the thrill.

Fans of Nico, Sarah Davachi, Kate Bush and Robbie Basho will be delighted by Azurite Sun‘s heartfelt songs, tinged with phantasmagorical drone. Azurite Sun evokes landscapes, suspended moments, chiaroscuro where perception is refined.

The Sacrificial Chanting Mood tour is organised by Le Périscope as part of Better Live, a project co-funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme:
